What is For The Punks?

For The Punks is an online magazine and resource created in August 2019 by Karalyn Hope that aims to connect fans and artists together to grow, learn, and explore. For The Punks is by fans and artists for fans and artists.

Do you cover just punk music?

No! We cover any genre of music. We cover all mediums of art. We cover film, comics, and more. We also publish think pieces about our industries.

Why ‘For The Punks’ then?

We were inspired by the song “For The Punx” by The Casualties for the name of this website.

A punk to us is a person who fights for what they want regardless of obstacles. It’s a person who has an open mind. It’s a person who always want to learn and grow. It’s a person who is not afraid of being themselves. It’s a person who puts their heart and souls in their passion.
